Today I will be reading you a story and finding out your thoughts on the story, however before we
start, I would like you to look at this picture. This is the book I will be reading which is called A
Monster Surprise. Could you predict what you think this story is going to be about using the front
cover and the name of the book. Take a little video of what you think and put it onto Seesaw for me.

Now you have made your predictions I would like you to go onto Seesaw to access the video of me
reading the story. Once you have listened, I would like you to use the 3 sharings and tell me;
something you liked or disliked about the story, something that puzzled you about it and something
that made a connection perhaps of something you have seen or read elsewhere. Take a little video
and put it onto Seesaw.

Task 3 – Everybody
I would like you to log into reading eggs and spend 15 mins working through your lessons on there.

Music
This month we will be focusing on Scotland, its history, people, artists and music. Today we will be
looking at a Scottish song. Click on the link below and listen to the song once, then play it again and
try to join in. You may already know this song but if you don’t please do not worry, I am sure you
will learn the first two verses very quickly.

Some of the words in the song might sound funny to you.
In what language is the lady singing the song?
What do you think the song is about?
You can write down some of the words and what you think they mean, or you can take a little video
telling me your thoughts and upload it to Seesaw. I would also love to see any videos of you singing
along.

Good morning boys and girls, I hope you all had a lovely break and hopefully this lockdown won’t go on for too long.

We have a busy day ahead with a numeracy, literacy, health and wellbeing  and a technology task, which should get you all online with glow.

It looks like a lot of work, but don’t worry, you don’t have to complete it all! Try to complete the main activity but the other activities are there to ensure you have a variety of things to do, try it all or just what you can manage.

Follow the information below and remember that I am only just a message away and will be posting short clips throughout the day and at 2pm we may even have the opportunity to all meet together. I was with P6 yesterday and they loved their meeting so much, they plan to meet every day!

Online Learning Plan – Primary 1/2 – Tuesday 12^th January 2021

Morning Prayer

Can we start the morning with our prayer to St Fergus?

 

Our first task this morning is Numeracy

Today we have four activities for our numeracy lesson. Only the main task is compulsory, the other tasks simply take the form of a class lesson and are to ensure enough variety for pupils.

Activity 1 – Warm-up

With all Numeracy tasks we should warm up our brains with an active task;

Stars and Squares

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MVzXKfr6e8

Pentagons, Rectangles, Circles and Triangles

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtNskltyA0E&list=PLQK2XiUY9C2hQwPHTnfeisJymlRTJY_Vb&index=48&t=0s

 

Activity 2 – Mental warm-up

Stars and Squares

http://www.snappymaths.com/counting/countto10/interactive/fingersimm/fingersimm.htm

Pentagons, Rectangles, Circles and Triangles.

This activity should be verbal with a parent / carer calling out the questions and the pupils offering the answer.

Zeta Maths Mental maths activity – use exercise 1 as a practice, then exercise 2 as a task.

https://books.zetamaths.com/books/htfb/#p=6

 

Activity 3 – Main Task

Addition to 10 / 20 using a number line.

L.I. – We are learning to add numbers to make 10 / 20.

We are learning to problem solve by finding the missing number.

 

S.C. – I can place a number on a number line.

I can “jump” several spaces on a number line.

I can find a missing number in a number sentence.

 

Start the activity by drawing out a number line to 10 / 20; starting at 0, finishing with 10 / 20 and filling in the missing numbers. The number line strategy is to choose the largest number, position it on the line then jump on the second number to find the answer.

The Challenge Questions are testing your problem-solving skills by finding the missing number.

So in a number sentence like; 15 + ? = 20, the 15 is positioned on the number line and then you jump on to 20, counting the number of jumps and that number is the answer.

Using your number line find the answer to the following questions; there is no need to write the whole number sentence, just the answers.

Stars and Squares

Pentagons (Challenge Questions), Rectangles, Circles and Triangles

1. 5 + 4 = 2. 11 + 6 = 3. 9 + 7 =                4. 8 + 3 =
2. 15 + 4 = 6. 9 + 9 = 7. 8 + 7 =                8. 13 + 6 =
3. 18 + 1 = 10. 17 + 3 =

Challenge Questions

1. 12 + ? = 20      2. 18 + ? = 20       3. 13 + ? = 20           4. 15 + ? = 20
2. ? + 10 = 20     6. ? + 15 = 20

Activity 4 – Robot Addition

To finish off numeracy, a quick 5 min game of robot addition, setting the target at which ever level they choose.

After all that maths, a snack and a song (if you can bear it!) will have them ready for the next task;

Task 2 is Literacy

Activity 1 – the Alphabet Song – All groups.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JztA7jArqiM

Can the pupils recall the vowel sounds?

The Long and Short vowel song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNwj2_q1ypk

Revision of phonic sounds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y03uiPd-JTc

Activity 2 –

Apples and Bananas – Main Task – Capital Letters.

Capital letters are always used to start sentences, can you rewrite the following sentences using a capital letter?

1. I. – We are learning to use capital letters at the start of a sentence.

 

S.C. – I can copy a sentence with a capital letter at the start.

I can rewrite a sentence, correcting the capital letter.

Copy the following sentences;

I have a black cat.

My name is James.

I like to play with my best friend at school.

 

Rewrite the following sentences with a capital letter;

i have a brown dog.

my name is Margaret.

i like to swim in the sea on holiday.

 

Grapes, Strawberries, Oranges and Kiwis – Main Task – Initial Blends.

When pupils are learning to read and spell they will learn combinations of vowel and consonant letters which although 2 letters, only make 1 sound, these are known as diagraphs. At the start of a word, they are “initial blends” and are made of 2 consonants together. Learning and using these blends help children to hear the sounds in words and spell accurately. These initial blends are;

cl-, bl-, fl-, gl-, sl-, br-, cr-, dr-, fr-, gr-, pr-, tr-, sc-, sm-, sn-, sw-, tw-, sk-, sp-, st-.

Look at the pictures in the worksheet, can you write the words for each picture and choose an initial blend from the list.

L.I. – We are learning to use initial letter blends to spell accurately.

S.C. – I can say and identify initial blends.

I can choose the correct initial blend to spell a word.

I can listen to the sounds in words and write the initial blend.

 

Activity 3 – Nessy

The link to Nessy will not work without passwords, so to avoid that cut and paste the link below into a web search and it should take you into the first page, lesson 1.

Initial blends is lesson 8, to get there click on the up arrow, beside the gold trophy at the bottom left side of the page. You will see a selection of activity tiles rise up and above them you will see “Letter Sounds” in white type, click the arrow to the right and scroll through until you see Initial Consonants. Start with the strategy tile and work through the stages.

Task 3 – Health and Wellbeing – Whole class.

The Happier January Calendar suggests that we think of someone to share a smile and a chat with, today think of a class friend who you miss and complete the “Smile it Forward” task attached below. Remember to think of what it is you enjoy about your friend, what makes them special! Make a copy of the page and share it please?

 

Task 4 – Technology – Whole class – you will need your glow login and password

This afternoon I would like to have everyone have a go at logging in to GLOW using their login and password.

Before Christmas and lockdown, I had set up a Google Classroom to focus on technology tasks and enable all pupils to access the new Chromebooks, I understand that all pupils have had their details sent home to them. It would also enable the class to meet and to engage in live learning.

I will be available all day to answer questions and will send instructions in the afternoon to help with getting everyone online around 2pm.

A load of information but message at any time for help.
